"Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman.
Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group has below, announced a ceasefire Friday. They've been fighting in Lebanon since shortly after Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran. Tehranah said it would not reach a peace deal as long as fighting continued in Lebanon. The deal was signed even though some fighting continued. Dalia Shendlin is a political adviser.
She says things in the region remain dicey."
“"I think that nobody here is truly confident that anything that's been announced over”
the last few hours will hold simply because even after it was announced, there were alert within Israel and ongoing firing in Lebanon. And so it's very precarious, you know, I can't even tell you whether it will hold considering we were still getting those reports of mutual fire up through at least an hour and a half after the ceasefire was supposed to have gone into effect."
"A maritime monitoring company, meanwhile, says major ship owners have begun to remove a to-move vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
It's the first time in 110 days that ships are moving freely through the waterway.
The Strait is a major passageway for much of the world's oil and natural gas. It was closed during the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran. The closing has created a historic energy crisis around the world." The education department is offering student loan borrowers a temporary discount on interest if they sign up for automatic payments, and Pierce Cori Turner explains.
Hoping to entice millions of borrowers back into regular repayment, the department is offering a full percentage point off their interest rate.
“So a bar with a 6% rate on their loans would see it dropped temporarily to 5%.”
The offer begins July 1st, and the rebate would last for two years until summer 2028. Borrowers who are already enrolled in autopay don't need to do anything. They'll automatically get the discount. The education department says borrowers will have until the end of September to sign up and qualify.
The department of Homeland Security is canceling its plan to put in immigration and customs enforcement detention facility in a Georgia town. It's one of several warehouses around the country, where similar conversion plans are reportedly being scrapped. Molly Samuel, from member station W.A.B.E. in Atlanta, as our reports.
There had been outcry over the warehouse plans, which took shape under former DHS Secretary Christi Nome, officials in the city of social circle worried about water and sewer capacity and how close the warehouse was to an elementary school. Last month, the Georgia town sued the federal government. Senator Rafael Warnock reacted to the cancellation in a news conference.
“These things that were happening in the quiet of night, we shot a light on it.”
We elevated it. The people raised their voices and they got their victory. City officials said Congressman Mike Collins confirmed the cancellation. DHS says the agency is moving to use existing detention space. For NPR news, I'm Molly Samuel, in Atlanta.

The next week's game against Turkey, they're guaranteed to move on to the knockout round and Piers Becky Sullivan as more. Australia seemed threatening. They beat a talented Turkey team 2-0 and the Americans were playing without their star-winger Christian Plusik who hurt his left calf in last week's game and had to sit out.
But the U.S. struck first when forward-flar in Balagin took a pass up the left side of the
field and sprinted toward the goal. Then when he passed the ball into the box, it bounced right off the shin of an Australian defender and into the net. Then just before halftime a header from U.S. defender Alex Freeman made the score two-nil. This is the first time the U.S. men have ever won two games in the group stage of a World
Cup and they've already scored six goals, which is twice as many as they scored in all of the 2022 World Cup Becky Sullivan and Piers News Seattle.
